" Dubbed Mobile Internet, the service includes a shiny new portal, which users can personalise with their own links, and an email aggregation service which notifies over SMS and only charges when the message is downloaded (at 12p a message, or £5 a month for all messages, without incurring data usage).

Vodafone UK has launched a mobile optimising technology which reformats web pages to fit onto a mobile phone screen.

Unfortunately, it also prevents anyone else doing the same thing, and breaks several mCommerce technologies ...

I guess I don't fully understand this (and its potential repercussions) ... I thought Vodafone was a major "backer" of the .MOBI and mTLD, IMHO.

If anyone can translate this further / inside knowledge, I'd be greatly appreciative!

Thanks much.
